same for america. i'd like to again sound a note of great optimism. when where he -- i've been in haiti for 25 years. for the first 15 years of my engagement and our engagement we did not do this the right way. we had a lot of good will. we built a hospital. we're very proud of it. i was there sunday morning. it was spotless. there were people lying on the floor who had been tended to and had casts and were boston op. all the beds were full. i was very proud and all of us are but what we really needed to do over the last decade, how can we do the same thing in the public health sector with the ministry of health and we did. and we created thousands of jobs and strengthened and rebuilt these public hospitals. that's an m.o. that i endorse not because we did it but because it's an effective way of addressing this lack of capacity in the public sector. i think the same can be said -- and it's more difficult with agriculture, of course, because knows are privately held fields in many of them. n.g.o.'s have to do this. meaning what? support the weak public
